Question by Alex: Can you get asthma if you suddenly stop using cocaine?
What does asthma feel like?

Best answer:

Answer by Kori
No, but you CAN DIE if you use too much!

Asthma feels like you are breathing as hard as you can but STILL feel like you are suffocating. Trust me. You are not suffering from asthma out of cocaine WITHDRAWAL, you are suffocating from cocaine ABUSE.

Most people have NO idea that you can die from an overdose even if you’ve used the EXACT same amount in the past.

You see, cocaine is sold by different dealers who ALL cut the drug in different ways & in different amounts. If your last dealer cut his coke MORE, your next dealer may cut HIS coke LESS.

Which means that you can suddenly die of an OD even if you use LESS than your last dose.
